The article discloses many naive misconceptions about the world. Revisit it in ten years or so and maybe by then you'll have changed your approach to unsupported generalizations.

I've seen early-stage investors cashed-out and escorted from the building. It's a business and regardless of how much you put in up front, as a founder, employee or investor, you need to keep producing for the company or you'll be excused f

Kudos to the North Koreans. They get me to watch the same video or read the same blog posts about North Korea over and over again hoping I'll see something new. But it's always government minders, shitty hotels, poverty, stalinist monuments

Yes, it's like sending a scrum update to a teammate who's working from home. It's routine and matter of fact after awhile. If they bitch about the amount of communication, I just make sure the invoices are all up-to-date and send two-day an

tl;dr: never surprise. Keep the communication going at all times, even if it's one-way. Deliver the agreed upon and hold them to their [financial] responsibilities. Never, ever work without a signed contract or billing authorization. It's b

Doesn't make sense to open source a Github clone or doesn't make sense to host the code on Github? If the answer were the former, I'd have to say that many a team use Git internally without being able to host it on a third party service and

Are you taking direct advantage of the iOS Developer Library for the iPad? If you're not, then maybe all you need is a fancy HTML5 app. It's not as sexy as an app store app, but you control all of the content without worrying about having f
